Detailed Tour Itinerary

This tour is a unique walking tour through the streets of Accra. You will witness the challenging lives of the people of Accra as you walk through the streets of Old Fadama. Here, there are people who had migrated in search of a better chance in life, but they were forced to live in the slums.

You will also witness the way of trades of these people, learn the way they handle ad operate their machines and appliances and extract the best out of it. The local people here, take the old refrigerators and computers and disassemble them and take out the valuable parts for selling them in the market.

We will get to hear stories of struggle from the street kids and refugees to understand the hard journey that landed them to these slums. We will ask these people as to what prompted them to visit this city, under what hopes and what made them land in the slums of Accra.

The kind of hardship they face is something to witness and later think about. Because even though they are poor, when you interact with these people, you will surely be taken aback by their humility and sense of pride.

You will finish your tour with an understanding of the people of the city of Accra and we certainly hope that you take some of it with you and spread it out wide.
